In recent days, the servants in the house have been complaining that food in the kitchen has been repeatedly lost, and the sound of footsteps and even water can be heard in the middle of the night in those vacant rooms.

I don't know which timid servant said that the house was haunted, which made the maids and servants panic for a while, but they could be regarded as servants who were suffering from patrolling the night, and all kinds of things to ward off disasters and evil spirits were hung in one.

Although the two sisters Biyu and Birou are not as timid as the maid servant, they are no better, shouting for the Taoist to draw talismans to catch ghosts, Zhao Zhengli understands the reason, and does not say anything, except for comfort and teasing.

The New Year has passed, the snow in the north has shown signs of melting, and the Khitan envoys went south, bringing some coarse fur and thick skins into Beijing.

Every year, the Khitan goes south to Beijing in the spring; Qingguo is a day of grievances for the people's livelihood.

This year, the Khitan led the team is one of the three major commanders, Harasha, this person is fat and strong, half a body taller than the Qingguo people, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a humanoid monster.

On the first day of entering the city, the Khitan envoys injured several Qingguo people, including ordinary civilians who failed to give way in time, and Jianghu people who deliberately found fault.

For a time, the foreign envoy had no king's law, and the practice of acting arrogantly and arrogantly on the street spread all over the capital.

The officials of Honglu Temple, who received the envoys of the foreign domain, were also resentful, and deliberately made things difficult for the Khitan envoys, arranged simple houses, and postponed the meeting with the saint.

Of course, it is not Honglu Temple that covers the sky with one hand, and there is more or less acquiescence from the old emperor, after all, Qingguo has been dormant for five years, and he is ready to go north to recover the land of Yanyun.

The only thing waiting for is an excuse.

A few days later, there were Jianghu people in the capital who challenged the Khitan envoys, and the Khitan was belligerent, coupled with Qingguo's sluggish attitude, the challengers did not refuse to accept all the orders.

The Khitan envoys set up a ring in the outer city to face the warriors of all walks of life in Qingguo, and the Khitan was fierce and physically undefeated for several days, which made the envoys arrogant.

The nerd who arrogantly said that there were only a few sage books left in the country.

These words reached the ears of the old emperor and were extremely provocative, after all, they were in their own territory.

The crown prince and the king of the city naturally sensed Long Yan's displeasure, and the civil and military factions secretly let the Jianghu people get back their face.

Sure enough; In the next few days, the Qingguo people were extremely ferocious, defeating the Khitan strong men one after another, and finally led the team Harasa to suppress the field, if the mission was later may be lifted.

However, as one of the three major Khitan commanders, Harasa had no preparation to stop, and monopolized the ring for several days, and there were dozens of Qingguo people who fell at his feet.

The old emperor's face became more and more ugly, and the huge capital was actually pressed by a few Khitan barbarians, which was a clear blow to Qingguo's face.

The emperor was in a hurry, and the courtiers were naturally not down-to-earth, so they came up with the idea to ask the three saints of the temple to make a move, although the Harasa people were tall and big, strong as giants, and they were only in their early thirties according to their age, and the older generation naturally lost their identity, only the younger generation, the top three in the temple a few days ago were very suitable.

are waiting for the old emperor to give an order, but the old emperor is waiting for them to realize, and he wants to make it clear to him that the three saints of the temple and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are too ignorant of the holy will.

On the fifth day of the Khitan mission, Zhang Ziya, the guest secretary of the Prince's Mansion, made a move, and this was already the third batch of people from the Prince's Mansion.

Day; Zhang Ziya of the Grandmaster Realm fought with no more than a hundred moves; was thrown out of the ring.

On the sixth day, a lieutenant colonel in the city palace responded to the battle, and the fatal strategy he practiced on the battlefield made him break a hundred moves, and he was finally kicked out of the ring.

A lieutenant is not very good in the army, but he was 'kicked' out of office in public; there was some insulting elements, and the king of the city couldn't swallow this breath; he had to fight in the ring himself, but unfortunately he was taken on stage early by the sixth prince Song Maoling.

In this battle, the two sides fought for more than 300 rounds, and the victory and defeat were not determined by the smashing of the ring.

The onlookers shouted enthusiastically for the first time, and the breath that they had held for several days finally came out, but they couldn't beat the arrogant Khitan to the ground.

The whole capital was waiting for the ring to be rebuilt, waiting for the scene where the top three of the three saints of the temple came forward to beat the Khitan barbarians, but there was no movement.

The Khitan mission was quiet.

The smashed ring didn't stand up in the end.

Hold down the Khitan; The old emperor was in a pleasant mood.

picked a day to summon these foreign envoys, and the Khitan envoys in the palace were very honest, because they all knew that there were four great masters in this Qingguo temple, in addition to the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism on the surface, there was also a great master in the dark, even the ministers of the court did not know who it was, let alone outsiders.

It is reported; This year, Emperor Qing is different from previous years, the Khitan is even more searching, gold and silver have been greatly discounted, and the tribute silkworm silk satin is not a horse, the only generous sent a few cars of vegetarian food, saying that the Khitan beef and mutton eat too much on fire, vegetarian food can reduce the fire.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the old emperor is indirectly expressing the arrogant measures of the Khitan envoys in the capital.

The Khitan envoy was a little at a loss, and repeatedly checked with Honglu Temple to no avail, and finally returned to China with anger.

Shortly after the Khitan envoy left Beijing, Emperor Qing ordered the northern frontier to be reorganized for war.

At the end of January, Tubo, Dali, and Western Xia also had envoys to visit, these countries were far less arrogant than the Khitan, and the posture was polite and harmonious, of course, it was not that these countries paid attention to etiquette, but understood that the fist was not hard enough, thinking about the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan envoys were more humble than them, but in recent decades, they took advantage of the rise of the late Tang Dynasty civil strife, so they have the capital that is now clamoring.

Therefore, friendship between nations is built on fists, and the same is true between people.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

On this day; The northeast direction of Qingguo is frequent, and the sky is full of gods, as if there is a secret realm of immortals, attracting the attention of all parties, and the old emperor asked Si Tianjian to divinate the signs overnight.

The Heavenly Master, the National Teacher, and the Master of the Three Sages of the temple were also instructed to assist, and everyone worked together to calculate the night, and came to the conclusion that the mysterious "Black Heron Temple" was about to appear.

It is rumored that the Egret Temple came into being, and its whereabouts are ethereal and impossible to find, and each Jiazi appears once in the world.

The temple gathers the fortune of the world, condenses the nineteen-way chess game, one game for the world's temples, and one game for the world's rivers and lakes.

Sixty years ago, when the Black Heron Temple was in the northern Khitan, a nomadic young man mistakenly entered the temple and dialed a sunspot, so that the two sunspots bordered, and cut off seventeen white seeds, and the white pieces in the chess game were scattered in more than ten places and could not be formed.

Afterwards, within ten years, the north and south of the Khitan were unified, and the Later Tang Dynasty was divided into ten kingdoms in troubled times, and the killing never stopped for decades, and the Khitan grew stronger and stronger.

Forty years ago, the Northern Jin Kingdom was in conflict with the Ten Kingdoms; Emperor Shi Jiao sent the sixteen counties of Yanyun as a life talisman in order to seek the land of the cone, so that the Khitan successfully went south to help him defend the country, but unfortunately led the wolf into the house and let the Khitan take root in the land of China.

To this day, the land of Yanyun in the north is still the pain of Qingguo.

Now that the Egret Temple is now in the northeast of Shiqing Kingdom, it is entirely possible that the Khitan will perceive it at the same time. Inevitably have long nights and dreams; The old emperor sent several pairs of men and horses north that day to find the possible location of the Egret Temple, and asked the three saints of the temple to search for it with all their might.

The people of the rivers and lakes in the capital passed the news out as soon as possible, and the three saints of the temple also summoned a group of strong masters to go out of Beijing, and flew pigeons to send messages to their respective mountain sects to help.

The old heavenly master originally scheduled Zhao Zhengli's task to be postponed, and asked him to start looking for the Egret Temple, because he wanted to rush ahead of the Khitan, Tubo, Dali, Xixia and other countries, although it was within the territory of Qingguo, but the countries did not hinder the people of the rivers and lakes of various countries, so they were afraid of variables.

The wind direction of the capital seemed to be attracted by the Egret Temple for a while, and Zhao Zhengli's Bi family sisters in Fuzhong were packing up their things, because they would leave Beijing tomorrow to look for the northeast.

The old heavenly master arranged for the sixth prince Song Maoling to be with Qi Yun Shanyang Zhifang, so that the three of them could explore the way forward first, and the main thing was to worry about Zhao Zhengli's reward in the secret list of Changle Pavilion.

There are also people from the Confucian Academy and the National Teacher's Mansion who go out of Beijing, but the three religions do not go together.

Ji Yanyu didn't show up that night, and it was estimated that she left the city early.

Next; Gradually there are signs of early spring.

Many people from inside and outside the capital went out of Beijing to the north one after another, riding carts, horses, and walking, all of which were different.

Zhao Zhengli hired a carriage for the Bi family sisters to travel, because they had been pampered in the capital for half a year, and now they suddenly rode on horseback and bumped their legs and hips and couldn't accept the friction.

Although Zhao Daochang didn't care about the calluses on his buttocks, he always felt comfortable in the carriage, at least it was convenient to take a nap.

Song Maoling, the sixth prince, is still in a white robe and a white fan, and he looks free.

Yang Zhiming of Qiyun Mountain is the oldest, wearing a green shirt; Don't wear a waist knife and say little, and look like a weak and bitter scholar; Extremely alert.

The two of them each rode a horse to the front, Zhao Zhengli was wearing a fur robe added by Birou, driving the carriage with great dignity, looking at the white and green figures in front of him, but the Bi sisters in the carriage were chattering constantly, Zhao Zhengli was naturally clear through the bamboo curtain, nothing more than talking about the three of them, who is good-looking, who is amazing!

The carriage left the city and headed east, in the direction of Qingzhou.

One day along the Yellow River waterway; Settled in Yinshan Town, Yinshan Town does not have Yinshan, but the mountains and rivers here are green, it is a small town rich in crops, as the saying goes, green mountains and green waters are Jinshan Yinshan, so the metaphor is also 'Yinshan!' ’

The rich land attaches great importance to pleasure, and this place is not far from the capital, what to eat, drink and have fun, fight insects and birds, listen to music and hook the column, and also learn the same, and are still talking about the vision of the sunshine in the sky in recent days, and they are not aware of the rush of people from all over the world.

Zhao Daochang and his colleagues found an inn to settle in the lakeside area, and now he is half a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, and half a year has passed; The storyteller in the tea house tavern still spat on the various deeds of this human demon madman, and Song Maoling and Yang Zhiming on the side also listened to it with relish.

Zhao Zhengli himself was a little embarrassed, because he blew too much, what could destroy the strong master with one punch and one palm, and cut out tens of thousands of zhang of sword qi with one sword...... Completely deified to the means of immortals.

A few people didn't hang out after dinner, but after all, it was difficult to avoid daredevils, and a few local losers couldn't help but get started when they saw the pretty appearance of the Bi family sisters, and were taught a lesson by Biyu in public, and were stopped on the way back, and brought a group of thugs.

The Bi family sisters looked at Zhao Daochang, Zhao Zhengli looked at Song Maoling and Yang Zhifang, and they spread their hands: "Regardless of our business, let's go first!" ”

Zhao Zhengli also spread his hands to the two sisters: "...... I also...... Go first! ”

This answer made everyone speechless, and the thugs were even more excited, thinking that they were soft characters who ate soft and feared hard, and the two beauties were destined to be doomed tonight.

In less than a cup of tea, a group of arrogant thugs fell to the ground and wailed, and the Bi family sisters were very disappointed and snorted at them: "I don't need to beat anything!" ”

At the same time, Zhao Zhengli squatted in the alley waiting for the Bi family sisters, he found several unfriendly eyes in the crowd, and the sense of surveillance was extremely strong, and he looked back and disappeared.

He sighed helplessly: "I know that this river and lake is not simple!" I don't know if it's for the daughter of the secret list of Changle Pavilion, or for the fame of the rivers and lakes! ”
